THE HORSES OF CANADA.
From Turf, Field and Farm, 1872.

Dear Sir promised you communica-
tions on various matters connected with
horses. Sickness, not remissness, has
stood in the way of prompt fulfilment.
Not yet enabled to supply an article on
one single topic for the dainty Esprit"
permit me to touch upon various themes,
which may hereafter be the subjects of
more leisurely comment or discussion. 1t
has been shrewdly asserted that eXtraor-
binary incidents and passages in almost
every ones life, related in sober truth.
would Re of far greater interest than
many of the admired tales of fiction.
Certainly the conclusions drawn from
real histories are Of some avail for the ra-
tional purposes of life those from the
others too often worse than worthless.
1t is on this matter-of-fact plan that
wish to set before the worlds eve,
through your valuable sheet, some no.
tons relative to horses and the horses
business in Canada. Slightly qualified
either in literary or equestrian point of
view, enter upon the task. encouraged
by previous movements to the same pur-
pose in higher quarters, and anxious to
elicit and avail myself, for my own and
my neighbours benefit of the experience
of older and ADLER practitioners.
My chief aim is the breeding of bust
ness horses. In my own neighborhood |
have begun the enterprise practically, by
introducing small, compact. speedy horses
of the Norman French blood, in the prime
of life, in opposition to wornout, loose
iointed, swing tails hitherto in vogue,
such as 1t agonizes an economical farmer

consumption of hay and oats. The en-
terprise is fostered by the discreet and
experienced and distinguished by the
censure of such portion as that which
caused the Grecian TO ask what folly he
had been committing when they applaud
ed him. Therefore take heart to invoke
the aid of the great and influential 'Spir.

selected in the French country, where
from the multitude, they are not more

turns can be had; but few years hence
the stock will show itself, and then,

one, or said he did. He bought this mare
of Isaac or AleXander-at this moment
we forget which his name was-FergusoI
of Huntington, or rather he brought hel
of Mr.. Ferguson's estate. This was af
ter the war, or about 1864 or ). The

From, the Ne,o York Tribune.

There is a remarkably intelligent
dog in Oxford, owned by one of our
sportsmen. The animal is setter.
He positively refuses to hunt birds be-
fore October 10th, and no amount of
coaxing or whipping will induce him
to break the law. He was taken in
the field few days ago but the law
abiding animal couldn't be induced
to "set' single bird. Finally his
master drew an almanac from his
pocket, pointed out October 18th with
his finger, and the dog, with a joyous
bark, went to work with an energy
that enabled the sportsman to bring
home an overfowing game bag
